I’ve got this exact gun and I love it. Great value! Can’t complain for what I paid for it 👍🏼

[@john-paulsilke893]

Lovely gun. No room in the safe at the moment but it would look good in there.

[@royjennison3916]

i have shot with a 5k gun on a round of clays and a cheap ATA , my scores where not much differant , bit of gun snobbery i suspect ,

[@fullchoke01]

That's like saying a ferrari and fiesta are the same because they both drive to the shops

[@royjennison3916]

@@fullchoke01 yes the point i am making , no matter what price the gun nmy kill level is the same , and a 5 k gun will not increase my score . dont get me wrong i do appriciate a nice 5 k gun as a work of mechanical art .

ATA SP Elegant Gold review on the cards soon?

[@dale_ch]

I think ATA is the one to watch in the near future - these guys are trying really hard to make great guns at affordable prices 😁

[@tgsoutdoors]

As long as they keep the after sales service up, people won’t stop buying. I would like to see them invest in a big boys gun, like Yildiz did with the pro.

[@dale_ch]

@@tgsoutdoors I agree, although their standard SP with adjustable stock at £595 is a pretty useable gun for weekend Sporting Clays and offers really nice looking wood! 👍

[@goe54]

I had a o/u Webley and Scott made in Turkey and the middle rib got loose on both sides after about 1000 rounds, and after shooting in rain the color of the Turkish walnut started to be washed up. The manufacturer refused to send me other barrels saying that the action and the barrels must be fitted together. I offered to pay 500 pounds for one of their sporter that is on the marked for less than 1000 pounds, hence the production costs around 700, and they refused. People be aware of Turkish made stuff.

[@tgsoutdoors]

I think every 🇬🇧 importer handles warranty very differently, sorry Webley didn’t look after you

[@grendelgrendelsson5493]

I do like a chunky fore-end because I've got hands like JCB digger buckets and a slim gun feels slightly odd.

[@Blondejam]

BTW I had a Miroku a few months ago and it felt like throwing a sledge hammer!

[@tanerdalklc843]

Very good gun

[@chrischadwick5395]

So if this is the Turkish Silver Pigeon, which gun is the Turkish Browning 525?

[@richardcranston1833]

ATA along with all the Turkish manufacturers are on the rise. Cost and effective manufacturing will change people views. Looking at this exact gun for my sister a shop is using this model and putting a adjustable comb and shortening a little for the ideal starter gun for women as there's nothing on the market sub £1500.

[@20cameron1]

ATA and a ton of other shotguns are made in Turkey. Started looking last year and ran across a frequent feedback on Turkish guns that one gun is good quality, but the next is terrible.

[@herbertpatron9980]

Heard good things about this gun .. wondering where you can buy one .and how it is on the trap range

[@sasha.novakovic]

Jonny belongs to the roads now

[@tgsoutdoors]

😂 yes cuz!

[@funkla65]

Damn, the price went up a pound about midway through. ;-) I think the walnut pad is a bit gimmicky at this price point, but it'll be eye catching in the store, and easily replaced by the owner's choice of Pachmayr Decelerator or whatever. And I'm sure their wood shop generates plenty of suitable scraps of lovely walnut.

[@tgsoutdoors]

The walnut of is a nice touch that puts it spec wise alongside guns of that style. I think however a pachmeyer would be a better idea

[@rosscookson]

Does anybody know if ATA are making their own extended chokes yet or whether because of their links with Baretta, their chokes are suitable?

[@josephmcgivern9671]

i would get the bettinsoil had different ones last 15 years no trouble

[@davidw1634]

Nice

[@harrison2584]

Hi bud, what would you recommend between one of these and a Bettinsoli diamond deluxe?

[@josephmcgivern9671]

i would get the bettinsoil had them for last 15 years no trouble at all

[@mikeproctor3664]

I wonder what Beretta thinks about it?

[@dale_ch]

Probably 'Oh shit - £800 - are they mad?'

[@clive1539]

One way to save on costs..... you don’t need a research and development department. Beretta fans will still buy berettas

[@mchughcb]

@@clive1539 just like miroku fans

[@sargy9586]

Mad ting 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tgsoutdoors]

😂

[@sargy9586]

Now the your videos appeal to all ages 😂

[@tgsoutdoors]

How to get the next generation into shooting? Act like a roadman

[@clive1539]

As someone who likes engraving I think it’s a missed opportunity, all that available real estate ...... Still plenty of modern guns have gone minimalist or black.... This is neither But probably as you say for a few hundred quid should you complain.

[@Blondejam]

In the name of God, give me a copper pipe nailed to a broom handle and I'll hit a target! I do not care about refinement of engraving or the cut in the wood etc. Does the bloody thing hit targets? My background is rifles and static target shooting and have learned a lot about clays over the years, well once a year basically on a shoot on my birthday and have hit consistently 65-84% on a shoot once a year. Some guns I find hard work others Ok, but once a year? I do not give two hoots to the esthetic of a gun personally and have had so many people say to me "Oh" you have to have so so and so so. Crap really as they have been shooting for years on end and manage maybe a 65-70% hit rate. Either you can or you can't. I want to improve my shooting and by one or two standards alone will not be looking at the engraving on the gun to improve my shot or the standard of the wood! Spend as much money as you wish on a gun depending on your finances but at the end of the day a really decent looking gun does not make you a decent shooter!

[@fullchoke01]

Over unders heritage goes hand in hand with engraving/wood quality, he is simply explaining what you get, at end of day be it 500 or 15000 you are paying for 2 steel tubes and some wood so some detail is nice, but that leads to engineering and material quality, you may shoot fine with that ata but buy a browning or the likes and you will shoot fine for several lifetimes. The turkish range are 5 year lifespan guns.

[@joshswires9938]

Hahaha mad ting😂😂😂

[@matthewhunt797]

Sorry John but I subscribe to this channel for your middle class je ne sais quoi! Please let's not lower tone. ( your more of brouge-man than Road-man).... What's the next review?? A tweed balaclava and a sawn off ata 🤔

[@tgsoutdoors]

🤣 Just keeping Sasha entertained during the long lonely hours of editing! Be assured that if they made tweed balaclavas, I would own one for sure. (Providing it matched the rest of the Suit)

[@matthewhunt797]

@@tgsoutdoors....... Rare bird London actually sell a tweed full face mask paired with a matching flat cap would create the same effect...just saying

[@andrewlambert4934]

Ok gun.. BUT.. that for end is horrible.
